My fellow Rotarians,
 
Happy New Year!  July 1 is the first day of our new Rotary year, 2025-2026. On Friday, July 4, we will celebrate Independence Day - the birthday of our country and its new year.
 
Looking in the rear-view mirror at the 2024- 2025 year, we are all grateful for the leadership, vision and creativity of Kurtis Dawson and his team.  Thank you, Kurtis, and ‘retiring’ Board members David Lovitt, Mitch Pisik and Nina Trasoff, as well as Sergeant at Arms Khris Dodge, for jobs well done.  Continuing with their Board Service for this year are Michael Guymon, Diana Madaras and Jason Grabosch, Treasurer Glenn Ewing and Secretary Jenn Delaney – thank you all for your time and talent last year and appreciation in advance for your hard work to come.  New to the Board are Alan Schrope, Brittany Battle and Jonathan Walkup and new Sergeant at Arms Dan Kalm, who bring lots of excitement, energy and ideas.  I’m so looking forward to working with you all!  And, of course, our club would not be where we are today without the extraordinary efforts and passion of Dorinna York and Deborah Munoz-Chacon!
 
Together, our group united and brought another terrific car show to Tucson, ably led by Seaniffer (AKA Jennifer and Sean Hoffman) with support from almost every club member. Dave White brings his energy and leadership to this year’s show, which we already know will be another in a series of very successful Tucson Classics Car Shows!
 
Our 5-year strategic plan is up for review and renewal, which offers a good opportunity to evaluate where we’ve been and where we want to go.  Involvement and engagement of our members will be critical as we move forward.
 
Rotary International’s theme for this coming year is UNITE FOR GOOD, and the Rotary Club of Tucson will build on that – our local theme will be UNITE SOUTHERN ARIZONA (USA) and we will work toward enhancing our presence, impact and activities in our region and our community.  We will continue to enhance fellowship opportunities, grow our membership, improve the number and breadth of our service projects, start new traditions, increase our fellowship activities – and have fun!
 
I hope you are as excited as I am about the potential for us all to Unite for Good, grow our club and have a positive Rotary impact.  Thank you for your trust and faith in me; I appreciate the opportunity to serve.
 
YIR,
 
Dot Kret
2025-26 President

Join us at noon on Wednesday for the Rotary Club of Tucson's Change of Administration (COA) meeting, held at our regular weekly gathering, as we "celebrate" the year led by our outgoing adequate President Kurtis and warmly welcome our incoming President Dot. The meeting will be filled with fun, fellowship, and heartfelt gratitude for the dedication, service, and community impact achieved over the past year. We’ll reflect on the milestones reached and the connections strengthened, while eagerly anticipating the fresh vision and opportunities the new Rotary year will bring. There may even be a full cash bar to enhance the festive atmosphere!
 
 
The emergence of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology has revolutionized the fields of genetics and genomics. In medical genetics, NGS plays a pivotal role in identifying genetic variants responsible for rare inherited diseases. These variants encompass a spectrum of complexities, ranging from simple single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) or short insertions/deletions (indels) spanning up to several dozen base pairs, to more intricate forms such as complex chromosomal rearrangements (structural variants, SVs), and copy number variants (CNVs).

THE FOUR-WAY TEST

Of the things we think, say or do

1.  Is it the TRUTH?

2.  Is it FAIR to all concerned?

3.  Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

4.  Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

With the Four-Way Test as our guide, the Rotary Club of Tucson is an indispensable resource for our community, and provides our members a remarkable return on their investment of skills, time, and resources.
